It will work outside the US - but perhaps I should add a warning to the
port/package that if you're outside the US you probably don't want to use
it.

Unless ftp.uk.freebsd.org rolled their own release, they've got the US 4.0
one, which doesn't contain the international crypto (although I believe it
should give you the option of fetching it from internat during the install
- which still won't work because Mark Murray still hasn't rebuilt the
librsaintl package yet like I've been asking him for the past week).

This is unfortunate because it means a lot of international folks are
going to be installing the inferior US implementation :-(

This fixed it because most international cvsup mirrors (although not all,
I think there's a cvsup operator in germany who hasn't been reading my
emails on the topic) pick up their crypto from internat, so you compiled
the correct version.
